Lunch at the Banks with new Friends!

We had a great time today! A true girls day out. We met at The Bank of Mexican Food Restaurant (Located in OLD TOWN TEMECULA)

The owners Craig and Christy Puma were so welcoming and the staff was totally great!

The food was awesome and I give the Bank of Mexican food a 1000 stars!

Thank you Craig for doubling as picture taker of the Four Blogger's!

A Perfect Day with Great Friends!

Wonderful is the word that pops in my mind as I look back on the day. A heartfelt thanks to Ginger and Priscilla for coming to Temecula and helping us make great memories!

What sweethearts you both are.

Time is a valuable gift and friendship is a true blessing. Amy is taking home blessed memories.

A special thanks to Priscilla's hubby for bringing her to Temecula.You two are really a sweet couple.

Another laid back day as we went BACK to HOME GOODS.....WHAT FUN!!! I got just a few things. A PINK BUNNY RABBIT Soap on a Rope for Maddi and some Bubble Gum Balls in the cutest Chinese Carryout Box. I also found her a coin changer, you know the old metal ones the gas station guys would wear on their belt loop, only this one is metal and plastic and I thought she would love to play with that and learn money at the same time!!! I got myself the BEST PEONY lotion and body wash and of course some gourmet chocolate.

THEN.....off to Temecula to scope out the place before tomorrow's lunch....that was pretty fun however, a lot of the stores that were there before are gone. Also, some of our favorite booths in the antique shops were no longer there. But, ya never know until you go and so tomorrow we can go and enjoy lunch with everyone (DETAILS BELOW) and have another relaxing day.

LUNCH!!!!

MY FIRST TIME of having Tomato with Pesto (we went to The Mill again, I LOVE THAT PLACE) and boy was it FABULOUS!!! I once again had the 1919 pizza and Anna tried the pasta. We loved em both and of course we shared!!! We both promised that we would try something different to eat before I leave on Wednesday Morning. So hopefully I won't have a weak spot and have to have the pizza again!!! LOL Please meet us on MONDAY, JANUARY 14th at 11:30am at The Bank of Mexican Food Restaurant (just click on the link for the address, directions and full menu) for a GIRLS DAY of LUNCH FUN!!! IN OLD TOWNE TEMECULA!!!!

Anna says HELLO and I just want everyone to know I am having the time of my life!!! It's so WARM (almost 80 everyday) and full of SUNSHINE!!! I'm ONE HAPPY GIRL!!! Just think how different my life was just a few months ago, I never thought I would be here today!!!
All my Love, Amy (and Anna too)

Lazy Day! Dessert first!

A little dessert before a fun day.A few extra fat grams but no harm.

OK Girls I tried to get Amy to do this however she declined! LOL So you are stuck with me again.Bless her heart she is tired and on vacation.So as you can see we took it easier today. As you can also see we bought some great goodies at Homegoods! Amy is a Homegoods Virgin(her words) and only got thru half the store before she said we need to come back again before I leave.

Fun goodies from HomeGoods!Notice Amy's new coffee mug a pretty enamel blue.

This is our cheese and crackers and yes we splurged we had a dinner wine!

My find of the day!

This lovely picture with a lovely frame was hidden behind some items in an Antique shop that we stumbled on today. I asked Amy what she thought and she said are you stupid or something buy it.Then she proceeded to tell me stupid is as stupid does and life is like a box of chocolates buy it.LOL Notice the Barbola roses on the corners of the frame with original paint! So as difficult as it was I parted with the $6.50 to buy it.Yes I love it and yes Amy is thrilled that I bought it!

Simply Friends

Perfect name for a perfect shop! After eating at the Mill we ventured down the street to a lovely Antique shop named simply friends. Debi greeted us with a sunny California smile and a lovely heartfelt getting to know you conversation!Her shop was filled with wonderful treasures and soon there will be a French Flower shop in the back! How fun is that!

OK girl's we had fun today! We ate at the Mill in Murrieta and yes we ate BREAD! Not just any bread but the Mother of all breads! If you ever travel to Old downtown Murietta you are commanded to eat at the Mill(Martha Stewart did before stripes and Poncho). And not be outdone by Martha we had Ceasar chicken salad and 1919 Pizza! Yes of course we brought some home to the starving elevator mechanic hubby,well a little.
